Presenter:

Janet S. Steinwedel, Ph.D., President, Leader's Insight, Wilmington,

Delaware

With plenty of passion, politics and power in Corporate America, Dr. Steinwedel has carved out a niche in group work which includes navigating through these "P's" in order to develop authentic leadership among participants. The process includes naming experiences, challenging ego and acknowledging self-deception. In monthly meetings over 6-9 months, articles, books and experiences are used to stimulate discussion. Dream work is an option where we use a technique that ensures we own our own projections, thereby enabling powerful insights for all from the experience.

1. Understand how group work can be effective within the Organizational context
